Bracket B Round 1

Poll 32

Felix (@oopsie0503) vs. Luna (@goblinoid-wretch)

127. Felix (@oopsie0503)

He/They

They're my favorite traumatized transgender homosexual little creature. He is so tragic. He is such a kind little soul who wouldn't hurt a fly, he just wanted to be accepted for who he was! His family didn't accept him when he came out as trans and he was in a horrible place when the God of the Sun came along and told him he could give them a better life. Of course when a God, respected and worshipped, offers to give you the life you've dreamed of, you'd take it. Then a lot of really shitty stuff happens to him, I won't get into it here because some of it's really sensitive but you can find all his lore on @lux-loquitur plus some other characters from his lore. He's got two kids, and he loves them both unconditionally even if they are both in some way direct results of his trauma. He gets betrayed by his husband (Moon) who saved him from his abuser, (Sun) and he ends up trapped in a 'star room', or a depiction of his last movements which were so confusing and tragic in so many ways that they ruined his afterlife. He is stuck here for centuries, unable to interact with any of the objects in the room including pictures of his daughters, as well as himself and Moon. He can't figure out why he'd killed him, it's lost on him. Slowly he goes insane, his mind snapping, until he is summoned by Moon after the God finds a strange orb (which the universe itself may or may not have had some role in delivering). Felix, now the only Lux to ever visit the living realm from the afterlife, is more powerful than even the God of Creation, killing Sun, his abuser, and taking on the position of God of the Dead and the Stars.

Felix is a part of a species called the Lux, with dark skin, freckles, a long tail with a tuft of fur at the end, and long pointed ears. His eyes are a vibrant electric blue, matching with the glowing bits of his antenna. His hair is cut halfway down to his neck and is a dark brown. His usual attire consists of a crescent moon choker, a sleeveless crop top, and a pair of dark blue shorts and an arm band depicting hearts. After death he comes back as a spirit (and eventually becomes the god of death) and he is a slightly opaque, vibrant blue. His eyes are a dark cyan and parts of him which once gave off light are now dark. His death wound on his neck as well as his mouth and nose bleed for centuries. His arm band depicts broken hearts and he is able to have either a wispy, genie like body or legs as he pleases.

She/her

I have put her through enough goddamn trauma for both iterations of her life. She has suffered through capture by the faux-SCP Foundation of my universe, had like maybe five years worth of time with her brother before he got killed because she let her guard down for a second, spend maybe another year trying to come to terms with this (with the support of her girlfriend <3) before she was forced to kill her girlfriend (</3), then got like a week to start processing all of this before the end of the universe.

AND THEN THE UNIVERSE RESETS BECAUSE THE CORRUPTED GOD FRAGMENT (there are 3 creator fragments btw) ABSORBED ANOTHER ONE OF THE FRAGMENTS AND MADE A FLAWED AND NONSENSICAL REPLICA OF THE OLD UNIVERSE!!! So now Luna has to deal with inexplicably working for the Foundation after escaping as a D-Class equivalent years before while being haunted by a strange anomaly that she can never remember (her brother acting as a guardian angel). She gets a different girlfriend this time around, who is also helping her through her problems, but because it's the Foundation where everybody has to have something wrong somehow, the girlfriend is intrinsically linked to an exploitative demon that takes control occasionally, exploiting the weaknesses that Luna has shared to further damage her mental state. She also has to cope with their weird hollowness left over from the unresolved feelings pre-universe reset, so there's that.

She just desperately needs a win right now. She's got the anger of a poorly-adjusted teen trapped in the body of a 20-something year old, a theoretically biting wit that often fails her whenever she's trying to make any sort of clever remark, and a seeming curse of absolutely horrendous luck.

She has been my main failgirl-poor little meow meow-scringo for the better part of 4 years now after countless character developments (she started off as the child of two fnaf ocs when I had a brief intersection between interests in fnaf and scp and she just stuck around forever) and I just desperately want her to have some kind of award before I spring the third universe reset on her (sorry luna).

Being demonic in nature, she has dark grey skin, black eyes, and red pupils. Her hair is white, as is her brother's, and she dyes it with orange streaks. She has two horns that break through the hair which extend about three inches out from her forehead and curve. Each horn comes to a slightly curved T-shape split, where the arms of the T extend about an inch below and five inches above where the horn sprouts. Her blood is blue, a color which comes through when she blushes. She has acne scarring on her face across her cheeks and her nose, as well as down her back and on her shoulders. She also has several scars from various battles on various parts of her body. She has a fairly muscular build, though when she initially returns from the Foundation she is somewhat malnourished. She stands at approximately 5'7, a good 7 inches shorter than her brother (a fact that he teases her about regularly), and weighs about 164 pounds.

In the initial timeline, she always wears a black jacket with grey faux fur that her brother got her when she showed up st his doorstep immediately after escaping, which she continues to patch up and wear to this day. She tends to wear cargo pants (for more pockets), sneakers, and t-shirts of various designs, though while going off on missions under the guidance of the fragments she tends to don her old Foundation jumpsuit (inexplicably - she seems to have fond memories, or may be wearing it because of a promise.) Her hair is fairly unkempt,  and tends to fall over her left eye.

Post-reset, she wears her hair pulled back in a low ponytail to keep it out of her eyes. She uses makeup to hide the acne scarring on her face. What she wears changes depending on her mission, but most of the time while she's on the job she wears a black two piece suit with a white work shirt, black dress pants, black dress shoes, and a black tie (the standard uniform for agents within the site where she works.) Her casual wear tends to be the same as pre-reset: t-shirt, cargo pants, sneakers. She also wears a black hoodie as opposed to the pre-reset back jacket, as her brother technically never existed post-reset. The hoodie still makes her feel remorse and nostalgia, though she can't quite place why.

@original-character-championship idk if you already reposted this one or not or if you posted the submission one but if possible I'd like to send out this propaganda please thank you ::)

Luna, my scringlo, my favored failgirl, is currently fighting in the B2 Bracket of the @original-character-championship, so I figured I should start the propaganda storm. Here's her brother, Edge (please don't judge me I made both of the poor wretches on amino as a middle schooler and haven't had the heart to change the name or their designs cause I've grown too attached,) who will now attempt to endorse her.

[yes it's written in character as edge i am cringe but i am free]

[Transcript is in the alt text below the description of the image.]

Edge's List of Reasons why you should Vote for Luna:

She is my sister, and I like to believe myself to be a good person, which means she must be at least sorta ok.

In spite of how... prickly she is, she's a decent person once you get to know her.

She's pretty adept with knives and guns and the like, being an agent of A-B (so it could be dangerous to vote against her)

She works for A-B, essentially the god of our world, so she's like a champion chosen by the gods or something like that (probably shoulda mentioned this before the last point to give a bit of context)

Her girlfriend is pretty cool :) (Jess [her girlfriend] wrote that one in)

She is a wanted criminal (probably best to ignore this one)

She really kinda needs to win at something for once in her life, all things considered (shut up edge) (no :])

And those are all the reasons I can think of for now. Just... please vote for her? Maybe? Thanks.

-Edge

Luna's comments:

I SAID I DIDN'T NEED A RECOMMENDATION OF CHARACTER YOU ASS. YOU BETTER NOT POST THIS OR I'M SHAVING OFF THE STUPID BEARD-GOATEE-HAIR BULLSHIT ON YOUR CHIN YOU'RE SO PROUD OF.

“you’re pretty.” - “you’re drunk.” - 128 for Rio please🤭🩷

𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞: 𝕻𝖗𝖊𝖙𝖙𝖞 | Masterlist

♪ Por eso friki-friki-friki-friki-frik, friki-frik, frikitona ♪

The Latin blared loudly throughout the luxurious downtown Detroit loft. The vibration of the speakers bouncing off the walls. The home was filled to maximum capacity. Sweaty, half-naked bodies either grinding against one another or swinging off the various stripper poles located in the living room. Blue agave tequila bottles, cases of Corona beers, and sparkling white wines covered the marble countertops. The partygoer's skin had a pink hue to it due to the pink and red disco balls that shined down from the ceiling. Various neon-colored pills were scattered across the living room table beside used red solo cups. In the midst of the chaos, Epiphany sat on the sink in the master bathroom with her phone clutched in her hands.

〘𝙸 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚢〙

As she awaited Rio's reply, the dancer helped herself to another sip of her Corona. The incoming 'ding' of a new message from her phone caused her to straighten up.

《𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚍?》

She couldn't stop the smile that crept across her lips as the memory of him and his hauntingly beautiful eyes swept across her mind.

〘𝚜𝚗𝚘𝚠𝚌𝚊𝚙𝚜, 𝚖𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚒𝚔𝚎𝚜, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚔𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎𝚜. 𝟺𝚡 𝚘𝚏 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐〙

After sending her location, Epiphany began drowning down the last few drops of her beer, and her friends barged into the bathroom. "¡Oye! ¿Dónde están los refrescos de la fiesta, huh?"Valentina asked. The Mexicana pulled her waist-length hair into a messy bun with her claw clip. The four girls behind her agreed with a simple 'yea!' in unison. 

"The refreshments are coming any minute now." Epiphany replied. She impatiently refreshed her message box once again. Her attention then turned towards Valentina. "Yo, if Mario snorts any more coke he's gonna start needing little blue pills to have a good time."

"That happened about 200 lines ago." Valentina scoffed as their friends laughed. 

"Guzmán is her prey tonight." Their mutual friend, Jasmine, joked. 

"Mira, esta noche la luna está llena y mi cama está vacía y Guzmán está soltero y solo así que…" Valentina replied with a wiggle of her eyebrows. Which caused the ladies to giggle. {ʟᴏᴏᴋ, ᴛᴏɴɪɢʜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴏɴ ɪs ғᴜʟʟ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍʏ ʙᴇᴅ ɪs ᴇᴍᴘᴛʏ ᴀɴᴅ ɢᴜᴢᴍᴀɴ ɪs sɪɴɢʟᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴏɴᴇʟʏ sᴏ…}

《500$ 𝙾𝚞𝚝𝚜𝚒𝚍𝚎. 𝚆𝚊𝚝𝚌��� 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚌𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚎𝚜 𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚖𝚙》

A pleased smirk spread across Epiphany's lips, and she proceeded to send him a kiss emoji before jumping off the sink. "Our refreshments are here chicas." The girls cheered as Epiphany slipped on her mink fur coat. Her metallic-gold, rhinestone-studded bikini was no match for the Detroit midnight wind. As she made her way out of the bathroom and through the crowd, Epiphany's six-inch stilettos tapped against the floor. Her heartbeat sped up at the thought of seeing him. She wondered if he would be wearing a black button-down shirt like the night they'd met. Black usually made everyone look chic and classy. But for Rio, that color was made for him. 

She daydreamed about him throughout the elevator ride downstairs. But, it wasn't the dark knight that awaited her. Instead, it was a shorter, more buff, heavily tattooed male that she Rio with at the strip club.

"Not who you were expecting?" Mick questioned as he took notice of Epiphany's raised eyebrow.

"You don't exactly look like Willie Wonka." She responded while digging into her pocket for the cash.

"I'm his brother." He replied monotonously as they traded goods. 

The exchange humbled almost in audible chuckles before they went their separate ways. Time passed by slowly the moment that Ephipany and her friends were faced with the baggies of drugs they were faced with. Excitement filled their eyes as they sat together in the bathroom. Valentina cut semi-thick lines of cocaine across her iPhone with her Amex card. Epiphany passed around the Adderall while Maria refilled their flute glasses with tequila.  

A few bangs upon the door caused the girls to flinch and caused one of them to yell, "Vete a la mierda pendejo!" Eventually, it did stop, and the group carried on with their fun. The moment the ivory-colored powder hit the roof of Epiphany's nostril, it was like she'd been shot with adrenaline. The familiar euphoric bliss that made her world go from average to sunshine and fucking rainbows. She drowned four lines without so much as a sniffle, and after that, the party finally started for her. Epiphany felt like she could run a marathon, but instead, she danced. 

Wildly, Epiphany danced topless on top of tables in the middle of the living room. Her loose curls bounced in the air as she grinds against her friends. "Y yo voy, voy, voy!" She and her friends sang along to Daddy Yankee at the top of their lungs. Her breasts bounced up as she began jumping along with the crowd. The feeling of her heart beating roughly against her chest as if it were clawing out of her body was the climax before the crash. She could feel the rapid beat of the music vibrating off her skin. Valentina's sweaty hands on her hips as they swayed together. Her nose is stuffy and wet, just like her eyes. Her mouth grew dry, and by the heavy pressure she felt in her chest, Epiphany knew that she couldn't bear another line or another Adderall.

"Fuck…" She breathed out as she made her way off the table. Her friends were so wasted that they didn't notice her stumble into the master bedroom. But Epiphany didn't mind because she wanted to leave quietly anyway. Her coat was thrown beside the empty bed, Just where she had left it. Picking the mink up from the floor, Epiphany slipped it over her half-naked body. As she buttoned it up, her stomach began to growl. The craving for salty, cheesy eggs swept over her as she sank onto the bed. Eggs made her think of him. Their shared breakfast the morning after consisted of eggs and bacon.

Epiphany sighs to herself with glee at the thought of him. She proceeds to search for a Xanax tablet in her jacket before popping it into her once retrieved. An opened bottle of champagne was located on the bedside table and she washed her tablet down with it. 'Breakfast sounds really good right now.' she thought to herself before texting Rio. She yearned to see him. To Feel his hands across her skin. To feel his lips against hers.

〘𝙷𝚎𝚢 𝚞 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚜𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚜 𝚊𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚎𝚐𝚐𝚜 ??? 𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 @ 𝟹 𝚊𝚖 𝚘𝚛 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝〙

The bubbles of the champagne tickled the back of her throat as she sipped it. Not expecting him to respond, Epiphany stuffed her phone back into her pocket and left the bedroom. Just like every other party she went to, the dancing and drugs always turned things into one big orgy. The living room was a sea of naked bodies colliding and others laid out cold. The dancer spilled out of the loft quietly and took the elevator to the parking lot. The cool air provided a sense of comfort to her hot skin. As she walked along the quiet streets of the affluent area of Detroit, Rio sat at the bar on the opposite side of town.

The Chicago gangster had sat in self-isolation with a glass of Pappy Van Winkle bourbon in his hands. Beth was a person he could only handle in small doses or else, the urge to off her would be too great. Hot and cold she was and even when she invited him to sleep over her new home…he didn't. Basking in his own solitude was how he spent his nights when his child wasn't in his care. It was hard for him to trust people in a city of snakes. His thick eyebrows began to knit together the moment he received the text. A little taken aback that Epiphany had texted at this hour. Based on the order Mick dropped off, Rio figured she'd either be knocked out cold or in someone's bed.

For a solid five minutes, he stared at the text. Debating with himself on what his next move would be. But in the end, Rio ended up getting into his car and driving to pick her up. He hadn't thought much of it, instead, he acted off impulse. Epiphany was intriguing in a fun way. She was energetic and fiery. He had a thing for a girl with spice. Her direct yet sassy attitude amused him. When he rolled into the 7/11 parking lot, his eyebrows raised at the sight of her. Her fur coat fit her like a mini dress; it felt right above her knees. A look of relaxation across her face as she sipped on a cherry cola. He couldn't help but admire how enchanted she looked underneath the moonlight. She had this type of 'untamed beauty' about her. Effortless. He found her to be sexy in a sultry way. Rio proceeded to step out of the car and make his way around the driver's side to the front of the car, "Hey Champ." 

"You came." Epiphany cheered with glee as she made her way over to him.

"I told you I would." Rio chuckled.

"Yeah well, my bad I thought I'd die of hunger before you got here." She giggled as her face grew hot. 

"Nah." He smiled humorously, "I wouldn't do you like that."

Epiphany couldn't help but swoon. Rio had the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. "You're so pretty. Like really… really pretty." she blurted out. A starry look in her eyes and a dazed smile on her lips.

"And you're drunk."

"I am but a drunk always speaks the truth,'' she argued. 

Their laughs went together like a symphony to an orchestra. And for a moment their eyes lingered on one another. Wanderlust about each other was thick in the air that night. Rio only grinned and proceeded to open the passenger side door for her. As soon as Epiphany was inside and they started their journey through the city, Rio asked her "So, what are you in the mood for?"

"Hmm…eggs but not scrambled. So, Tamagoyaki and sashimi sound good."

"I took you for more of the California roll type," Rio commented.

"Nah, not spicy enough for me. I like the devil roll or the ninja." Epiphany grinned. Every so often she would take her gaze off of him and look at the Chicago nightlife, "I love the night. Even when there's parties and whatever else going on, there's still a sense of solitude and peace."

"You enjoy being solitude?" Rio wondered aloud.

"Yes, the majority of the time." Epiphany nodded, "With exceptions. What about you?"

"Marcus Aurelius once said 'He who lives in harmony with himself-" Rio began to say before being cut off by Epiphany.

"Lives in harmony with the universe." she grinned. 

The Chicago gangster gave her a look of enchantment. Impressed by her knowledge of stoicism. "Yeah, exactly. That's what I live by," he replied with a slight raspiness to his voice. He ended up taking them to an after-hours Japanese Michelin-star restaurant called Hachiman. Which was named after the god of peace of Japan. The space was very intimate. No more than fifty tables. The walls were a deep shade of Jade-green with black marble tables and buttery-smooth leather booth seats. Gold-colored oil lamps hung from the ceilings giving the restaurant a cozy, dim-lighted ambiance. 

Epiphany and Rio walked side by side to their table. His hand rested on the middle of her back as Epiphany walked slowly due to feeling a bit 'loose' from all her party favors. His hand on her back provided a sense of stability. 

As they sat across from one another Epiphany lowered her coat a few inches below her shoulders to catch some air. Rio's eyes then lingered along her skin. It looked dewy and luminous. Her shoulder blades held a slight golden shimmer to them. He could faintly smell cherry radiating off of her. Rio was a man with a very sharp memory and paid great attention to detail. It was what kept him in the game for so long. He took notice of the Chanel Paradoxe watch on her wrist. That wasn't cheap. Not in the slightest. It cost her a good 230 gs or more. It sparked his interest and a call to Mick to find out more about her would be made sooner than later.

Suddenly, she giggled. More to herself than him. But before Rio could ask her anything, Epiphany clarified, "I didn't take you for the type to be into Martha Stewart."

He slightly tilted his head to the side. A blank expression on his face as he attempted to register what she had said.

"I mean no offense to your girl but come on…"Epiphany's cheeks puffed up as she fought back a laugh, "The haircut…the blazer or peacoat…whatever it is…it's giving Martha Stewart. "

Epiphany had successfully broken Rio's stoic expression. He let out a vibrant laugh. A fruitful, joyous laugh that caused his eyes to close and his head to tilt back. Their dinner consisted of laughter over drinks and sushi, sashimi and more drinks. Rio was impressed how well she held her liquor. For the most part, Epiphany was just flirty and playful. By the time dessert rolled around, their conversation rolled back around to Beth. "We're business partners." Rio clarified. "Everyone's got their role."

"Ah, and where does fucking and emotions come into that?," Epiphany questioned. Followed by indulging in a spoonful of matcha ice cream and chocolate.

Rio laughed in response, "Collateral damage control." His left brow rose "What makes you think that, champ?"

"Los ojos…the way she looks at you," Epiphany licks the cream from her spoon, "Eso es intimacy. It's personal."

"Way I see it is, it ain't no different than what you do, yeah? " Rio shot back, "Usas lo que tienes para conseguir lo que quieres, tu servicio es el deseo."

{you use what you got to get what you want, your service is desire.}

Epiphany slipped her foot out of her heel, smoothly rolling her foot across his thigh as she smiled. "Sí. It's not hard to get what you want when they want you back." Rio raised his glass with a smirk across his lips and the pair clicked their glasses together.

And when the night was no longer young and the sun began to awaken, He had driven her home. An upscale building located in the center of the city. His arm wrapped around her waist as she held onto him for support. "That's meee," she sang as she punched the code into her front door's keypad. Epiphany spun on her heel and smiled up at him. They'd only been an inch apart in height. Epiphany narrowed her eyes in on his as she batted her lashes. "Are you coming in?"

"Nah, gotta be up in a few hours." He replied. Their eyes lingered in on each other for what felt like hours but were mer moments. Epiphany abruptly tugged him closer by the collar of his shirt, her fingers looping around his golden chair. Her lips colliding with his. Epiphany's lips felt tender against his; Rio shuddered when her body moved against his. Her scent plaguing his skin. His hands gently grasped at the sides of her face as he kissed her deeply in return.

Epiphany felt jitters in her stomach and excitement bloomed within her chest. The intense heat that crept up her body as their mouths moved in a waltz-slow sync was short lived. "I'll see you later." He rasped against her mouth before leaving a few lingering kisses to the side of her jaw. He held her in his hands for a a few lingering moments. As she slowly opened her eyes, His warm hands slid over hers.

"Good morning." was all she could say with a giddy yet bashful smile painted across her face. The smile he gave her made Epiphany feel as though she were melting like a scoop of ice cream. His smile stayed in her mind until her head finally hit the pillows of her bed. That morning, she slept with a smile on her face.

[thisisnotthenerd]

do you ever give yourself ideas that seem like they shouldn't take much time in execution and then end up taking up way too much time?

anyway we're back with the first real entry for thisisnotthenerd's d20 stats of 2024. this time we're talking:

cast appearances by episode count

season count is one thing; there's only 21 of those so far. by contrast, we've had 222 episodes of d20 as of 1/16/2024. by may 2024 we'll have finished fhjy and hit 241.

by the current count, the intrepid heroes' full seasons account for 128 episodes of the total 222, or around 57.6% of the total episode count. if you add the fantasy high oneshots, it bumps up to 59.4%, and if you consider that we're adding 20 to the count with fhjy, by may 2024, intrepid heroes episodes will make up 62.6% of the dimension 20 catalog.

anyway here's the cast list:

the uncontested winner is brennan lee mulligan with 211/222 episodes. 95% attendance. the only times he hasn't been there are: the 4 episodes of shriek week, the 6 episodes of coffin run, and the gencon mismag oneshot.

in second place is lou wilson, with 151/222 episodes. this is every intrepid heroes season (128/222), plus 3 sidequests (4+10+6) and 3 oneshots.

in third, sweeping her way with the most recent season, is siobhan thompson with 147/222, after the ih seasons, 3 oneshots and 2 sidequests (6+10)

in fourth, we have ally beardsley with 144/222, after the ih seasons, 2 oneshots, and 2 sidequests (10+4)

very close in fifth, we have zac oyama, with 143/222, after the ih seasons, 4 oneshots, and 2 sidequests (6+6).

in sixth is emily axford, with 138/222, from 126 ih episodes, 2 oneshots, and one sidequest (10)

and in seventh is brian murphy, with 130 episodes, from the ih seasons and 3 oneshots.

after this we have a steep drop off, since the ih episodes make up 57% of the total count, and will make up 61% by the end of junior year. anyway next is aabria iyengar, with 48 episodes, a little over half which she gm'd (26).

next is erika ishii, with 37 episodes. they've been in 5 sidequests (6+4+10+6+10) and one oneshot.

to finish off the top ten, rekha shankar and izzy roland are tied with 26, since both have been in three sidequests [(6+10+10) and (10+6+10) respectively]

the last of the three cree, in 11th place, is matthew mercer, with 18 (6+6+6) episodes, 6 of which he gm'd

after which is carlos luna and mike trapp with 12, though carlos has been behind the scenes as crew in many more.

13th is taken up with another tie, this time between danielle radford and becca scott, who each have 11, though their splits are different, since danielle has been in 2 sidequests and a oneshot (4+6+1), while becca has been in 1 sidequest and 1 oneshot (10+1)

after this we get into the mass groups:

with 10 episodes there's a couple of options for how they got to that point, but less options for 6 and 4

10 episodes: ify nwadiwe (6+4), lily du (6+4), katie marovitch (10), sam reich (10), raphael chestang (10), grant o'brien (10), persephone valentine (10), omar najam (10), oscar montoya (10), surena marie (10), rashawn nadine scott (10), and jasper william cartwright (10)

next is griffin mcelroy, with 7 episodes, because he did the RTX oneshot along with tiny heist.

6 episodes: amy vorpahl, justin mcelroy, travis mcelroy, clint mcelroy, jessica ross, marisha ray, krystina arielle, b. dave walters, jasmine bhullar (GM), anjali bhimani, alex song-xia, freddie wong, hank green

4 episodes: gabe hicks (GM), dani fernandez, monét x change, alaska thunderfuck, bob the drag queen, jujubee

and last but not least, our oneshot only friends: brian david gilbert, michelle nguyen bradley, noxweiler berf, and markeia mccarty

and that's all for this time! check out the spreadsheet to see where the data comes from and every individual checkbox that i had to click for this to be fully accurate.

[pep-the-artemis]

I feel we as a community aren't giving enough stress on the fact there's another unidentified Solver.

We know this because N and Nori were being chased by one and canonically it feels unlikely to have been Nori, Yeva, Flesha, Uzi, or Doll because; Yeva and Doll are dead, Flesha was with Doll, Uzi was watching the video clip, and Nori was being chased.

Who's the host?

One possibility is that Nori was wrong and the Solver creature wasn't an corrupted Worker Drone just something else.

It could also be Jerad (Test Subject 014), Jimi (Test Subject 056), Jordan, (Test Subject 015), Junior (Test Subject 008), Jweb (Test Subject 092), Loch (Test Subject 103), Luna (Test Subject 072), Matt (Test Subject 128), Mika (Test Subject 020), Ezra (Test Subject 070), Atta (Test Subject 001), Carl (Test Subject 105), Dean (Test Subject 023), Nath (Test Subject 076), or Sofi (Test Subject 129) but it feels unlikely that they will introduce a new character for episode 7.

Another rattling in my brain right now is that it is Cyn and Tessa is currently the one in possession of Cyns original body. We know Cyn wasn't using her physical body in episode 5 because it was made clear to have been a hologram.

Or it could have been V or Alice... both feel unlikely but not impossible.

Currently, not certain?

KPT Lore: What About The Non-Attack Team Members?

Characters are from Kittypop Time, you can find her channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@Kittypoptime/featured

I don't actually think KPT has much of a fandom? Chip, the creator, and Oigma Jing are probably holding it up single-handedly.

But, of course, you can't stop Glue from touching a small fandom, so here I am, with a rant about the non-attack team members.

In one of KPT's old videos, a remake of the "Killing Butterflies" meme (there are THREE versions guys) that involves Victor as the main focus, we see a bracket (and also the spot where Victor ended up in the bracket... probably where he lost to his opponent). It's common knowledge that the members of the Hero Association were experimented on (by... probably scientists?). By seeing Victor's bracket, we know that there were originally 128 subjects (that is 128 children experimented on, with superpowers). He was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Now, from what we know currently, there are eleven people in the Hero Association. If Victor is in the Hero Association but is NOT part of the Attack Team, then we can safely assume that the three of all the top four (that's all semifinalists) are probably on the attack team, with the odd one out either being a villain or part of the Social Team.

This also means that, with eleven people in the Hero Association, most likely all quarterfinalists are in the Hero Association, and three particularly eye-catching subjects got tossed in. Maybe subjects without combat oriented abilities, like Gray and Ivy, but have support abilities that come in useful. It's also highly likely some of the semifinalists became the villains we know today, so maybe that explains why not all of the HA have incredibly offensive abilities.

This ALSO means that, despite there being a clear-cut offense-oriented team in the HA, all members are trained for combat. We already know that two of the finalists (Rose and Kitty) are in the attack team, so Mager was most likely a semifinalist, and Luna, Limm, and Lenna all have versatile abilities that can be used for offense or defense, so they were probably also very high in the bracket.

Then it gets confusing. If the HA is a culmination of the cream of the crop of this project, then they were all harvested from the upper parts of the bracket. So it leaves a question: how did Gray and Ivy get selected for the HA?

Here's a list of heroes and their abilities.

Kitty: Flight, regeneration Rose: Teleportation Mager: Telekinesis Luna: Superstrength Limm: Liquidizing, breathing underwater, swimming on surfaces (what? like, intangibility??) Lenna: Fire manipulation Gray: Technokinesis Ivy: Shapeshifting Victor: Plant manipulation Pipper: Size manipulation Light: Electric manipulation

See what I mean?

Okay, sure, but we know that Ivy can fight and is dangerous from the Tail meme. She can take an enemy down with just her tail, which is very sharp, and the Tail meme hinted that she can also shapeshift into non-human organisms. And the ability doesn't really equate to how strong the hero is; Kitty has essentially just flight and speed-healing, and she won the bracket.

That leaves Gray.

And really, Gray is the odd one out here. Everyone else can either fight or has a good ability, and we actually have no idea if Gray has either. We've never seen anything about him put into action, and we've actually never seen his ability on display before. What falls into Technokinesis, anyway? The internet defines it as the ability to manipulate machinery and software, but what we've seen of Gray really leans towards the latter. His weakness is mentioned to be loud noises, which can be easily manipulated by any of his opponents.

Technokinesis is also useless in battle, unless you have a weapon. Which brings us to a reasonable conclusion that Gray must've had some sort of weapon that enabled him to use his abilities to their full prowess; and you'd assume this would be his trademark, but it's not. He has no weapon, because he wouldn't need one as a support member.

And, by the way, is Gray capable of flight? We've only seen three characters in the KPT universe with wings: Kitty, Gray, and Mai. Kitty's capable of flight, but are the other two?

Flight physics require a specific body type, bone density, and wing type. Gray and Mai wouldn't be able to fly unless the scientists intended for them to, and Gray's wings aren't aerodynamic to begin with. I think we've seen Mai fly before, but Gray? His wings are always slouching, or bouncing along as he's running or leaping, like he can't even hold them up right. They're also situated strangely low on his back. Are those even wings? What are they? Transmitters???

So many questions, so little answers...

[original-character-championship]

shoot idk how this works so I made a post beforehand thinking I had to submit the link but seems like that isn't the case so I'll repost here

_______________________________________________

Luna, my scringlo, my favored failgirl, is currently preparing to enter the B2 Bracket of the @original-character-championship, so I figured I should start the propaganda storm early. Here's her brother, Edge (please don't judge me I made both of the poor wretches on amino as a middle schooler and haven't had the heart to change the name or their designs cause I've grown too attached,) who will now attempt to endorse her.

[yes it's written in character as edge i am cringe but i am free]

[Transcript is in the alt text below the description of the image.]

Edge's List of Reasons why you should Vote for Luna:

She is my sister, and I like to believe myself to be a good person, which means she must be at least sorta ok.

In spite of how... prickly she is, she's a decent person once you get to know her.

She's pretty adept with knives and guns and the like, being an agent of A-B (so it could be dangerous to vote against her)

She works for A-B, essentially the god of our world, so she's like a champion chosen by the gods or something like that (probably shoulda mentioned this before the last point to give a bit of context)

Her girlfriend is pretty cool :) (Jess [her girlfriend] wrote that one in)

She is a wanted criminal (probably best to ignore this one)

She really kinda needs to win at something for once in her life, all things considered (shut up edge) (no :])

And those are all the reasons I can think of for now. Just... please vote for her? Maybe? Thanks.

-Edge

Luna's comments:

I SAID I DIDN'T NEED A RECOMMENDATION OF CHARACTER YOU ASS. YOU BETTER NOT POST THIS OR I'M SHAVING OFF THE STUPID BEARD-GOATEE-HAIR BULLSHIT ON YOUR CHIN YOU'RE SO PROUD OF.

[tgrailwar-zero]

The message left the room quiet, before you heard DRACO's voice again. Louder, echoing off the walls, as you saw your own Servants tense. It seemed like this time, they could hear her as well.

"…Caster. So that's what you had to say..."

The tether between you grew taut, as an image was forced into your mind. It was… DRACO, sure, but also a bit of LUCIUS. And a bit of that crimson Servant that you saw within LUCIUS' mind. Like that 'CASTER' you saw before, she seemed tired. Weathered by some unknowable stress.

'DRACO': "Ah… this is more familiar. More... comfortable. An illusion- a dream- but a fitting one. Just like this war, just like this Solar Cell, even this Bestial nature of mine is a farce. A crude 'reflection', just like Lucius. No matter what, I could never become the true Sodom's Beast."

RULER said something similar about her being a 'Ruler' during this war. A 'sham for a sham'. Each avenue of this was farcical, created and executed for some purpose, but that purpose remained unknown.

'DRACO': "We were so close. We fought so hard… 128 Masters. 128 Servants. Mages turning the skin of the great goddess Luna into naught but a battlefield for their own whims. A bloody free-for-all, all for nothing. You remember none of it, truly?"

Her voice was hoarse, strained with emotion.

You felt DRACO push. Push into the collective mass that was your minds- but not to search, to share.

To unlock.

You recalled Servants. Your Servants.

MANDRICARDO. VAN GOGH. KINTOKI. MUSASHI. IZOU. ARJUNA. CU CHULAINN. DANTE.

Not simply as part of your collective, but as individual Servants… with individual Masters.

You recalled the faces of the 'Forgotten Servants' that you ran into during your war amongst yourselves.

KRIEMHILD. ENKIDU. NOBUNAGA. MEDEA. SINBAD. MORDRED. CARMILLA.

Even some of the faces that you saw in this current war.

CONSTANTINE. SALIERI. QUETZALCOATL. SIGURD. ASCLEPIUS. PRETENDER. FOREIGNER. RULER. BERSERKER. ASSASSIN. GUNNER. ARCHER. LANCER.

But then there were some Servants that you didn't really recognize… or at least, didn't think you did- yet there was a certain glimmer of familiarity as they flashed through your mind.

These were all Servants that battled within the Lunar Holy Grail War. 128 Servants. 128 Masters. Enemies to be defeated. Allies to be had. All of them... gone.

Gone?

These Servants… battling for their lives, in an all-out brawl. A ritual, a collective of souls sacrificing themselves for… something. A reward? A wish? It seemed unclear. It all seemed so… unclear. Their fates. Their desires.

Strangely enough, you didn't see that 'nothing' Servant, or KUKULKAN.

But one thing seemed to be a direct truth. You weren't always 'Interlopers'. You were simply 'Masters', twisted into this role somehow, for some reason. Not just for this war on the Solar Cell, but for the Origin War too. During the Lunar Holy Grail War, you were just 'Masters'. Mages. Wizards.

As you felt her push on those memories, they began to get tangled. Painfully so.

Conversations with MUSASHI that some of you remembered vividly, and yet seemed foreign to others. Moments with MANDRICARDO that felt both long gone yet incredibly close. Long discussions with DANTE, or was it MEDEA? Perhaps it was ARJUNA, but you definietely remembered hanging out with KINTOKI-- or no, that was IZOU, or that time was NOBUNAGA...

Like a thousand vines were tangled together, each one 'true' and yet overlapping.

'DRACO': "…What a twisted thing you've all become, 'Interlopers'. Chimeric Curse of the Lunar Sea... But I'm in no position to judge. Without a Contractor, my physical form is naught, especially if I must keep my draconic heads manifested. It seems my hubris has caught up to me once again."

There was no wry laughter, no sense of irony. Just venom- directed wholly towards herself.

'DRACO': "I grow weary. No, I've been weary. That sword. Bring it to me. Caster speaks truth- my instinct is to drive that blade through the heart of what she's become, and then to what burnt our happiness asunder. Continue forth through this tomb, and give me the blade. Then I will tell you the truth of this place."

It seemed like the only thing she was requesting was the sword- in exchange for answers. Actual answers. Maybe finding that message awoke something in her. It also seemed like her lack of a proper contract was beginning to take it's toll. Severing the contract had been a snap decision- and apparently a harsh one in regards to her wellbeing.

-

CONSTANTINE: "…Another trick. It has to be."

PRETENDER: "You think so?"

It seems like you could either go back through the brick wall, or there were two paths forward. One directly to the north, and the other to the northwest.

The scratching sound from the hallway you were originally heading down seems to have gotten louder. The slow screech of metal against stone, grinding and scraping against the brickwork.

KUKULKAN: "Oh- right. Got it!"

She put her hand towards the blade, before recoiling as well- it seemed like she was impacted by the burning sensation too. However, she pushed through, picking up the weapon and (quickly) adding it to your inventory before the heat could do any damage.

-

Crimson Blade - A old, yet regal looking blade made from crimson-colored meteor metal. It seems like there's been a heavy curse placed on it, making it unusable for most Servants. The coding of the blade has several 'verification locks' placed on it. While you can't tell the extent of the locks, it seems the first thing it tests is whether a Servant is a member of the 'Saber'-class or not. Despite being trapped in this tomb for an unknowable amount of time, it still burns with a flame that can't quite be put out.

The disk was added to your inventory.

Message Disk, 'Forgotten Blade' - A recording from a Servant that heavily resembles Caster. It seems like an apology of sorts.

Behold!!!

The Round 1 contestants!!!

You will notice that there is no clearly defined bracket yet, but there will be going forth from round 2. I just want to see how popular certain characters actually are before I set all the forthcoming rounds in stone. You will also notice that there are some polls with more that two options. That's because we have so many cats and so little opportunities to make an even bracket. And one more thing that some of you who know their way around the math of bracket-making might pick up on: round 1 consists of 126 polls, while we're going to require 128 contestants for round 2.

If you have any propaganda, now's the time to start sharing it!

I'm currently planning for the polls to go live by these small bundles every eight hours, starting TOMORROW, MARCH 2ND, 12PM GMT (using this time zone as the ground zero it is I guess), so the whole round should take just a week. Unless I fluck up putting posts on timer, but let's just hope for the best.

Joyce: I guess I slipped and cut my neck on... The doctor said it looked like a barbecue fork. (looks at Buffy) We don't have a barbecue fork. (looks at Giles) Are you another doctor? Buffy: Oh! Um... No, Mom, this is Mr. Giles. Joyce: Oh, the librarian from your school! (confused) What's he doing here? Giles: Uh, I-I just came to pay my respects, wish you a speedy recovery. Joyce: Boy, the teachers really *do* care in this town.

Nakayoshi Media Book Season 4 Volume 1

Last set! This books series is the smallest of all the series and unfortunately they did not have one for the Stars season.

Her hair is all over the place on this cover.

Back cover.

New opening.

New season, new cast of villains.

Episode 128: "Meeting of Destiny: The Night Pegasus Dances".

Starting the season with a solar eclipse was a nice touch. Supposedly this is a Ichinohashi Park. There is no open area this big and with greenery. Unless this is the fictional Juuban Park created for the series?

Episode 130: "Protect Mom's Dream: Double Moon's New Attack".

One of those few times Sailor Chibi Moon used her attack and there were no issues the first time.

Did anyone ever question wonder how Sailor Chibi Moon knew the words to Sailor Moon's new attack here?

First time we see the phrase of the season, STAGE OUT!

Episode 133: "Artemis is Cheating? Enter the Mysterious Kitten".

Mamoru and his green jacket. Is this the only episode we ever see him inside of Usagi's home? Convenient Mr. Tsukino is not home. Have to feel bad for him dealing with Usagi and Chibi Usa's antics here.

Poor Artemis. The timing of meeting his future daughter was bad luck for him with Luna right there.

When everyone realizes Sailor Chibi Moon knows the kitten Diana.

Mamoru and Artemis share a great moment here. I think drinks would definitely be in order after meeting a future child!

Best K3 song bracket! - Recap

I have a lot of data from the polls so I used it to make a full ranking of all 128 songs that made it to the bracket. For this I used two rules: songs that made it to later rounds would be ranked higher than songs eliminated earlier and within a round the songs would be ordered by the absolute number of votes they got, this felt fairer than the percentage, because almost anything got obliterated by Oya lélé, but for example Opa still managed to get 5 votes in the first round, which I think is more impressive than getting 4 votes in a poll with 20 votes in total. (Opa had a percentage of 11.4, 4 votes of 20 would be 20%), because a lower number of total votes seems to imply people cared less about both songs.

Anyway having said that, some fun facts:

3 songs only got 1 vote in total, De aarde beeft, K3 Kan Het! and Oh ja (Though Kus van de juf only got 1 vote in round 2)

Top 3 songs that did better than their original rank would have expected are: 3) Verliefd (3 biggetjes), was ranked at 103 and ended up in place 10; 2) Hokus pokus dikke dokus, was ranked at 119 and ended up in place 22, and; 1) Mr. De president, originally ranked 114th and ended in place 16

On the other hand top 3 songs that did worse than expected: 3) Whoppa! ranked 43 and ended in place 120; 2) Jij bent mijn Gigi, ranked 21 and ended in place 106, and; 1) Dans van de farao, ranked 14 and also ended up in place 106 (both got the same number of votes)

Hippie shake on the other hand performed exactly as expected, it was ranked 8th and ended up in 8th place

The highest ranking non-og songs are 10.000 luchtballonnen and Mamasé at a shared 18th place

The highest ranking hmj song is Superster at the 32nd place

Full ranking behind the cut
